Key Functions

County Financial Framework

Northumberland County is focused on creating the conditions for thriving, inclusive and sustainable communities.

In keeping with our mission to be a 'Best practices leader in county government', staff implemented a financial planning model in 2010 that looks outward over 10 years at the management of the County's many accountabilities.

This financial model looks at the current fiscal year, as well as a nine year forecast. This process sets out a clear plan for managing existing requirements, as well as those on the horizon.
